A court decision on FIFA's transfer rules will "change the landscape of professional football", world players' union FIFPRO has said.The European Court of Justice has found some of the rules imposed by the global governing body are contrary to EU law in that they restrict freedom of movement and are anti-competitive, following a challenge by former Arsenal, Chelsea and Portsmouth midfielder Lassana Diarra.
Diarra sued FIFA for damages in the Belgian courts, citing two of its rules for the collapse of a move to Belgian club Charleroi after the termination of his contract with Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow in 2014. FIFA sources had questioned the significance of the ITC rule prior to Friday's judgement, pointing out that in all cases where a club wishing to sign a player involved in a dispute referred the matter to FIFA, registration with the new club was permitted.
The Dupont-Hissel firm statement said the decision would pave the way for a modernisation of governance in the transfer market,"in particular the use of collective bargaining between employees and employers" as are more common in American sports.
